摘要


Various types of cell death, including apoptosis, necrosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis, are induced in renal tubular epithelial cells following exposure to environmental stresses and toxicants such as osmotic stress, ischemia/reperfusion injury, cisplatin, and cadmium. This is known to cause renal dysfunction, but the cellular events preceding stress-induced cell death in renal tubules are not fully elucidated. The activin receptor-like kinase (ALK) 4/5, also known as activin-transforming growth factor (TGF) β receptor, is involved in stress-induced renal injury. We, therefore, studied the role of ALK4/5 signaling in HK-2 human proximal tubular epithelial cell death induced by cisplatin, cadmium, hyperosmotic stress inducer, sorbitol, and the ferroptosis activator, erastin. We found that ALK4/5 signaling is involved in cadmium- and erastin-induced cell death, but not sorbitol- or cisplatin-induced apoptotic cell death. Cadmium exposure elevated the level of phosphorylated Smad3, and treatment with the ALK4/5 kinase inhibitors, SB431542 or SB505124, suppressed cadmium-induced HK-2 cell death. Cadmium-induced cell death was attenuated by siRNA-mediated ALK4 or Smad3 silencing, or by treatment with SIS3, a selective inhibitor of TGFβ1-dependent Smad3 phosphorylation. Furthermore, ALK4/5 signaling activated Akt signaling to promote cadmium-induced HK-2 cell death. In contrast, siRNA-mediated Inhibin-bA silencing or treatment with TGFβ1 or activin A had little effect on cadmium-induced HK-2 cell death. On the other hand, treatment with SB431542 or SB505124 attenuated erastin-induced ferroptosis by hyperactivating Nrf2 signaling in HK-2 cells. These results suggest that blockade of ALK4/5 signaling protects against cadmium- and erastin-induced HK-2 cell death via Akt and Nrf2 signaling pathways, respectively.
